The United Nations says 86 percent of the besieged Gaza Strip is now under Israeli evacuation orders as 33 more Palestinians are killed in yet another day of attacks and displacement.
Thousands of Palestinians fled the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza on Monday after the Israeli army issued new evacuation orders.
“We have been displaced from the north. They told us: ‘Leave to central Gaza, then to Rafah.’ We went to Rafah, then went back up to Nuseirat. We got stuck. Then we received instructions to move farther south towards al-Mawasi,” Mohammed Naserallah, a displaced Palestinian, told media.
“Our life is in pieces. We have nothing, no one but God.”
Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said 86 percent of the besieged enclave is under evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military.
Kahder Baroud, a blind Palestinian man wearing black sunglasses, said he received a call from the Israeli army to leave his house in Nuseirat on Sunday.
“We are already struggling with our situation because my daughters and sons are also blind. … We live in fear, in frightening circumstances. We left home today [Monday], but we don’t know where we can go now,” he said.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, also in central Gaza, media’s Hani Mahmoud said recurrent mass displacements have become the norm with the Israeli military.
